The Library Council is a group of art and book enthusiasts whose contributions benefit the Museum’s Archives, Library, and Research Collections. Council members support the Museum’s mission to acquire, preserve, and make accessible research collections representing art and cultural history in the 20th and 21st centuries.
As one of the world’s most important resources on modern and contemporary art, MoMA Archives and Library collections are made available to an international community of researchers in The Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Education and Research Building and online through digital access.
Between 2002 and 2024, the Library Council published limited-edition artist’s books. These projects have featured work by Beatriz Milhazes, Vija Celmins and Eliot Weinberger, Gabriel Orozco, Joëlle Tuerlinckx, Olafur Eliasson, Doug Aitken, Yun-Fei Ji, Abelardo Morell, Ted Muehling and Oliver Sacks, Ranjani Shettar and Anita Desai, Annette Messager, Jean-Philippe Toussaint, R. H. Quaytman and Susan Howe, Guillermo Kuitca, Charles LeDray, Tomás Saraceno, Sonia Gomes, and a collective project called The Valise with original artworks by the artists Johanna Calle, Matías Duville, Maria Laet, Mateo López, Nicolás Paris, Rosângela Rennó, and Christian Vinck Henriquez, responding to a novel by César Aira. A few copies of the Saraceno and Gomes publications remain available for purchase.
